I have a nasty habit of not reading the descriptions of books I read. sometimes this leads to great disappointment, not so this time. I have to admit from the cover I expected to read a light Regency. However I was pleasantly surprised to find a Gothic novel. I enjoyed the interplay between Josie and Charles as they find out about each other after they are already married. The suspense throughout the book was quite intriguing. This is definitely a good book to curl up under the covers with on a cold and windy night! So grab a pot of tea and a few biscuits and settle in for a great read!
I was given a copy of this book by the author with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
Josie Chadwick dreams of marrying for love in Cornwall, England, but with her father's debt threatening to destroy all she holds dear, her romantic options are dwindling. When her elder sister Delia is disowned, Josie finds herself heiress of Chadwick Park, torn between dreams and duty. After sacrificing her heart to atone for Delia's sin, Josie clings to the hope she will learn to love a distant husband, whom she fears is incapable of requiting her affection.
Charles Radcliffe's heart has been scarred and hardened by rejection. He fears hurting his new bride, but his fears of betrayal and rejection are stronger, making it impossible for him to trust her love―let alone the love of her God.
As Josie and Charles face their new life together, ominous events warn of dark family secrets that could shatter them both. More than a loveless marriage is at stake if they cannot stand as one. Will they learn to trust God and each other before it's too late?
